Build For a Friend

[ClubGaming_]

My friend wanted a new computer to game on. He first showed me which computer he wanted (It was a mac ) and asked me what I thought. I told him that it was trash for gaming. He got back to me a week later and asked me if I could build him a custom one. Obviously, I want to leave a good impression as this is the first build I've ever done for anyone else. He wanted a system that can run games like GTA and Farcry at 1080. His max budget was 1000 but really wanted to stay around 8-900. This is what I came up with:

Will this build fit what hes asking? I figured it would be more than enough at 1080. Im open to any of your build ideas though. Thanks!

Then use the remaining budget for peripherals (Thats my build also, i just ordered abunch of parts for it )

Also, no need for a cpu cooler, you cant overclock

You don't need that cooler, the stock is more than adequate.

Tru but I figured its always good to have it cuz anythings better than the stock cooler and its pretty cheap.

4690K and 390. No need to spend full retail on a OS. Save some cash by getting a MOBO with wireless.

Throw in a H105 from Corsair and a WD BLACK 1TB when your friend needs the capacity.
